PS fluid leak

Ol grey has sprunk a leak. A leak I can't find for the life of me. I installed a red head about 3 months ago. Fittings going into the box, dry and tight. fitting on the side of the ps pump has movement in the fitting,but the bolt is tight? Is there an o ring in this fitting like the two that go to the steering gear? Is a PS line about to go?

I was thinking of getting some new hoses,is there an aftermarket braided SS hoes set made by any one?

On the plus side I had to remove the IC pipe to get a look at the steering gear and PS pump, So I did the foil delete, AIS plus foil delete=

Tape a white rag over each of the fittings and take the truck for a spin. Then check the rags to see which one has the fluid on it.

Replaced the the high pressure lines and the line from steering gear to cooler. Good to go now.

make sure the intercooler pipe does not rub on the p/s pressure hose fitting at the p/s pump.
